CRAZY THING IN ARIZONA!
Wow i thought it never snowed there. Thats crazy :shock:. Did it actually snow that deep that you couldnt get to school, or did your principal just decide to give off because of the rare event?

The complete "Should F2P get updates?" Debate! 5,000 views!
Jagex doesnt advertise on miniclip. They are posted as a game on miniclip, but they do not have any banners, etc. Honestly... how many times have you seen a runescape poppup? Poppups, banners, etc. are advertising. Jagex isnt paying miniclip to host runescape, Miniclip is greatly benefiting from it because of their increased page hits. Jagex doesnt advertise period... If f2p was truly honestly as fun as members, only less of it (thats what you are saying), then i dont see why im not in f2p. Name one fun minigame in f2p. Name one easy way to train a skill in f2p. Name one thing besides pking to do in your free time. Name one outstanding thing to merchant (besides ores and yews). F2p isnt attractive. I have many f2p friends on my friends list. They always pm me saying "hmm im bored what should i do?" Most of their skills are 60+. You mentioned that skills can be trained to the max. Ok, but the max your gona get is swordies, a dimond ammy crafting ability, yew trees, and rune rocks in lvl 45 wildy. None of that is attractive, and none of that brings in profits. You mentioned most of the content found in members is in free worlds. Its not. Not at all. Less than what, 10% of monsters are f2p? Less than 10% of items are f2p? Skills are very limited, obviously on puropse. The only reason players move over to members from f2p is their own ambitions. The whole game of runescape is centered around players desire to excell, get rich, beat their friends, level skills. Good luck finding a player without a "goal" in runescape. Runescape is most certanily not centered around fun. And if anythings fun, its certanily not f2p. Members allows players to excell. That is the draw, the attraction to members at the moment. The players personal will. (I also think this would be genius on jagex's part, but they did it by accident.) As for demos being more fun than the actual game, have you ever read a video gaming magazine... ever? Have you ever heard of an overhyped game that ends up getting bad ratings? Thats because the demos were fantastic, and the game doesnt live up to the demo's expectations. Alot of times demos are better than the actual game.

I really think Jagex needs to realize what f2p is. Runescape's only method of growth is by word-of mouth. F2p serves that purpose. However, there really is no reason to update f2p. I do believe that jagex should make f2p more fun (like a demo). Real videogame demoes are as fun or more fun than the actual game. Right now, Jagex's method is like this: They give f2pers a slab of bad quality, fatty steak. Then they tell the f2pers "Members is much, much better than that". What they should be doing (as a corporation seeking to expand itself): They should give f2pers a petit fliet mignon (preety much the best cut of steak, but its very small), and tell them that "Members tastes exactly like that, only a whole lot more of it." With the first method, players are left asking "Well, how much is much better". Since they've never tasted anything better than a fat-filled steak, they really dont know better steak exists. With the second method, players realize how fun members really is, and they are left saying "Wow, that was great, I should order some more!". Since players want more, they head over to members, and bam. Revenue for Jagex. Right now I dont think Jagex knows exactly how true videogame development and attraction works. I really think Jagex needs to realize their corporate responsibilities.

Im really really stuck in the tombs of amenti (ch 7 hard only). Ive looked at Captain K's walkthrough, at the part where he says: "ride the moving platform to the upper right exit(pick up an Iron Ore along the way), right, up, up and to the left (Mystic Cross spell), left (Mithil Ore), right, ride the [bleep]es up to the right, right (Lucerne Hammer), " In that room its impossible to go right up up and to the left, then left and right. Im kinda stuck... any help?

So, it looks like Pats - Bears. Brady is 100x better than Grossman. And AFC has dominated the NFC in the past. But im really not shure on this one.

"Da Bears are who we thought they were" ( So they won. Obviously :P. I wanted the saints to win (i naturally root for the underdog), but there was no way the saints were gona win this game. I picked the bears. Final For Bears - Saints game: Bears - 39 Saints -14 Ouch. So who do you think is gona win the AFC championship? Im predicting: Pats - 24 Colts - 21 Post your predictions of the Pats - Colts game, and who you thought was going to win the Saints - Bears game.

The complete "Should F2P get updates?" Debate! 5,000 views!
I think Jagex should play it smart (business-wise) and make a few f2p updates. Why? Because all members once were f2pers. Then the f2pers made a fateful decision to become members, which extended their runescape-life play by atleast a year or two. However, the other half of f2pers dont make the fateful decision to go to members. Not because they cant pay, not because their parents wont let them, but because runescape simply isnt interesting. Then the f2pers are led to believe that members is just as boring as f2p. Honestly, looking back at free-to-play now, as a member, I cant really remeber what motivated me to become a member, or even play runescape at all. Right now players in free to play honestly have no idea what members is like. If you head over to the "help and advice" section of our forums, I'll bet youll see an "is members worth it" post. Right now, all players in f2p get are tedious skills, small banks, very limited questing, and not much in the way of "fun stuff". If this is what a player got out of free to play, do you actually think they believe members is drastically different? However, giving them updates, like many people say, defeats the purpose of paying per month. However, jagex (Im assuming this) is trying to change f2p into a demo. And, like any other game demo, it must be attractive and fun to buy the full product. I dont believe Jagex should give f2p updates, I believe Jagex should give them a sample of non-tedious skill training, a sample of an extended quest, and a sample of "fun stuff". I think Jagex needs to start thinking like a corporation. They shouldnt give f2p updates just to extend their pay-less f2p life. They should attempt to lure players into members. If a person is set on being "F2p for life", why should Jagex, now a corporation with many employees, continue acting like a free fun online games site such as miniclip or the like? I dont believe they have any reason to extend a players non paying life. They should attempt to bring them into members, so they earn revenue. Then, Jagex would be benefiting themselves by making f2p a fun demo. They would be thinking like a real company.

Jagex' new rares? - 3A vs discontinued - PRICE UPDATE 7/2
I was pointing out something more important though. You said they behaved like rares. Rares are not just costly, the most distinct feature of a rare is its unstable price.

"Special Needs" Kid Stabbed to Death
Its sad that he got stabbed. Living in the area i do, there are atleast 5 murders in my local newspaper each day, so i hear about them all the time, ive kinda got used to them :(.
-
Jagex' new rares? - 3A vs discontinued - PRICE UPDATE 7/2
They're obviously going to go up until people realize how rare they actually are, and then they will stabalize. However, since there are so few, it will take a long time (6 months +, I predict) to get anywhere near stable. Right now prices are just pecking in the dark
